The creative construction of Bhavali Dam wrapped in a green coat of nature makes it worth a visit if you love photography to the core like us. The spellbinding views and steady breeze flowing partnering with it is bound to deliver you an experience of a lifetime.
Bhavali Dam is a picturesque site, which is still unexplored by many. We really wish that Government of Maharashtra provide a basic infrastructure at this spot because we feel this place has the potential to transform itself into an awe-inspiring amusement park, consisting of diverse water sports to choose from.
We were quite pleased to visit this not-so-known dam in Nashik as the essence of simplicity and naturally rich existence there gave us an ideal feeling of being an independent individuals and we definitely recommend everyone to visit the Bahuli Dam and capture its beauty through your lens as it is surely a treat for shutterbugs!
